Daniel Craig

British actor Daniel Craig became the sixth actor to play James Bond and took the British spy into a more dark and brooding place.

As a young man, Craig trained with London's National Youth Theatre, and in 1992, he made his film debut in "The Power of One." His other film credits include Steven Spielberg's "Munich," "Road to Perdition" and "The Golden Compass"
